Ecological connections between surface waters and the deep ocean remain poorly studied despite the high biomass of fishes and squids residing at depths beyond the euphotic zone. These animals likely support pelagic food webs containing a suite of predators that include commercially important fishes and marine mammals. Here we deploy pop-up satellite archival transmitting tags on 15 Chilean devi...

A crisis in chaotic scattering is characterized by the merging of two or more nonattracting chaotic saddles. The fractal dimension of the resulting chaotic saddle increases through the crisis. We present a rigorous analysis for the behavior of dynamical invariants associated with chaotic scattering by utilizing a representative model system that captures the essential dynamical features of cris...

A commercial pressure logger has been adapted for long-term field use. Its flash memory affords the large data volume to allow months of pressure measurements to be acquired at the rapid cadence (> 1 Hz) required to detect dust devils, small dust-laden convective vortices observed in arid regions. The power consumption of the unit is studied and battery and solar/battery options evaluated for l...
